More Insights

Built in 1968 (58 years old).
Condition: While the property has been recently refreshed with new paint, modern lighting, and landscaping, the kitchen and bathrooms, though clean and functional, feature styles and materials (e.g., granite countertops, older vanity styles, and tile) that appear to be 15-25 years old. The home was built in 1968, and while move-in ready, the key areas of the kitchen and bathrooms show signs of being outdated, suggesting they would require minor updates for a contemporary aesthetic, aligning with a 'Fair' condition rating.
